I started doing talent competitions, local ones in Liverpool, and then I started doing the holiday parks.<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cI\u2019m working for myself right now and it can be a very insecure job, it\u2019s hard work, driving up and down the country, wondering where the next gig\u2019s coming from. There\u2019s times when there isn\u2019t as many gigs as usual, you never know what\u2019s around the corner.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gibson certainly reminds us of Paul Burling who did very well in Britain\u2019s Got Talent last year and went on to host is own TV show.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight Les Gibson also impersonated Ross kemp, Alan Sugar and for us his best was Coronation Street\u2019s Kevin Webster.<\/p>\n<p>Michael McIntyre, a stand up comic by trade, laughed throughout &#8211; which has got to be a good sign for Les -and afterwards said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really enjoyed it. It was brilliant to take on Ant and Dec. I don\u2019t know what was funnier, how great you were or the fact that David Hasselhoff has no idea who any of those people were.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David laughed then said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t understand a word you were saying but I enjoyed it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amanda loved it all and concluded:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell done Les.
